Shelby's Story

Meet Shelby <br/><br/>Shelby is a senior lady looking for a calm, relaxed home where she can spend her days napping, getting pets, and baking in the sun. She's a 10+ year old 22lb mystery breed. Guesses include mixes of Terrier, Shepherd, Akita, Shiba, and Chihuahua. She's a Heinz 57! <br/><br/>Shelby has done well with dogs and cats in her foster home, so long as they respect her space while she is eating or sleeping on her bed. As a senior girl, her vision and hearing aren't the best, so she prefers slow introductions and lower energy friends. For this reason, she needs a home without small children.<br/><br/>Shelby takes a couple days to warm up to new people, but once you earn her trust, she becomes a marshmallow. Despite her age, she is quite the character and will let you know exactly what she wants. It's usually attention, dinner, or her favorite... going outside! This girl loooves spending her time outside laying in the sun and listening o the birds. Shelby would LOVE a home with a yard, or at least a readily accessible patio where she can spend nice afternoons. <br/><br/>Fill out an application today if you'd like to learn more about Shelby or are interested in meeting this sweet lady!
